Essential Relationships Between the Sending Church, Marketplace Worker, and Missionary

Marketplace workers make up the majority of every church’s membership. Yet, in reality there is only a small percentage of church members who usually take part in God’s mission.

But the Great Commission does not belong only to the full-time ordained Christian workers.
